Island Beneath the Sea by Isabel Allende - A Short Summary & Review

A short summary of the book Island Beneath the Sea:

The success of a compassionate slave.

My favorite Isabel Allende quote from the book:

"We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength inside that emerges when life puts us to the test."

Questions I pondered while reading the book:

Is kindness always the right answer?

Seriously, what broke so many years ago that made slavery okay?

My review of Island Beneath the Sea:

Zarite is a much better person than I could ever hope to be.

Beautiful character.

Ugly time.
